Our First Festival Freebie Favourites
A happy Easter to one n'all - and some good news.
All Festival goers were promised that three lucky people would be picked for free extra help & support by the WW. We've picked the first two of those:
Kerry and John have every chance of making the grade, I'd say, and it'll be an honour for us to help em get there.
All Festival goers were promised that three lucky people would be picked for free extra help & support by the WW. We've picked the first two of those:
- Kerry Fisher. Who won the comp on Saturday night, and got an agent very interested in her completed project ... but not quite interested enough to offer representation. That agent is, however, very keen to see Kerry's WIP, so we've promised to help Kerry with that, as soon as she's ready for us.
- Our very own John Onceupon. His MS has dangled tantalisingly close to publication standard for a while, but he's got one agent very interested in his work - and with a bit more editorial work from him and a good old shove from the WW's finest, I've every hope that he'll finally gets the success he deserves
Kerry and John have every chance of making the grade, I'd say, and it'll be an honour for us to help em get there.

Go on John you can do it - we're all behind you mate! In the words of CW Whoop whoop!! :o)
Debbie and Emma in particular have helped me begin to think of myself as a writer, and Julie Cohen gave me some priceless criticism at York, which is the basis of the drafting work I'm doing at the moment - not so much rewriting as re-shaping.
But with you friends around me, I now think The Blackbird Effect won't take much longer than the four years (this month) it's already taken. And then there are at least eight more books (some for children and one non-fiction) I want to write: I promise I won't hang around so long in the writing of them!
J x (does jig...)
Alcopops tonight then, John?
You both must be feeling so excited. What a step....
Loads of luck to you both.
Well done WW for all your effort and the continuous help you give to everyone. Not only those who are ready for the leg up to the next stage but also for helping those of us who still have a little further to go to reach that stage.
So thanks from me.

It looks like a busy May – I'm going to tidy the workshop in anticipation.
WW lives up to its billing too in helping talented writers take the steps to publication - how great.
And John, I'm sure it'll be a soaking wet May - ideal for a spot of intense editing ;-)
